Answer:
1/5
Explanation:
.7555555(repeating )
writing as a fraction
x = .755555555
10 x = 7.555555
Subtract the two
10x = 7.555555
-x = .75555555
--------------------------
9x =6.8
Divide each side by 9
x = 6.8/9
x = 68/90
Divide by 2
x = 34/45
We do the same for .555555 repeating
y = .5555 repeating
10 y = 5.5 repeating
10y = 5.5
-y = .555
-------------------
9y = 5
y = 5/9
Subtract x - y
34/45 - 5/9
Get a common denominator
34/45 - 25/45
9/45
1/5
